New medical complex for US resort
A cutting-edge medical complex is to be built at The Greenbrier – a luxury health-focused resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, US.
It is proposed that the Greenbrier Medical Institute will be developed in phases in the 6,750-acre (2,732-hectare) grounds.
The initial stage, expected to cost US$250m (EUR187m, £161m), will include a sports medicine centre; a cosmetic surgery and lifestyle enhancement academy; a sports performance and training facility; and a boutique hotel.
It will also comprise the relocation and expansion of the Greenbrier Clinic – a facility that has been offering preventative healthcare programmes to the nation's top executives since 1948.
The concept for the complex has been created by orthopaedic surgeon Dr James Andrews and healthcare developer Jack T Diamond, along with resort owner Jim Justice and consultant Michael Immel.
The Greenbrier currently boasts 710 bedrooms, a 40,000sq ft (3,716sq m) spa, a casino and three golf courses. At the centre of the resort is a sulphur water spring, which guests have sought out for medicinal purposes for more than 200 years.
Andrews said: "This Institute is a unique combination of the world's leading physicians and health care experts coming together and acting as a 'think tank' to stimulate medical research, drive innovation, force change and redefine how the world and individuals approach health, wellness and longevity."
